About the Designer

In 2002, Adidas introduced a lifestyle division, named avant-garde, Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto creative director, and changed the athletic footwear game. The following year, Y-3 released its first collection showcasing Adidas sneakers as a new platform for Yamamoto’s cutting-edge designs. Since then, the line has grown to include full collections and even professional soccer kits. And on every level, from technical specs to design aesthetics, Y-3 continues to push style to the forefront of sportswear.
